Future Expansion
The north-south oriented stadium is bowl-shaped, with stands on three sides (west, east, and north). SMU has plans to develop a south side seating area, extending the stadium's seating capacity to 45,000.
With the announcement of the Big East Conference, Southern Methodist University has engaged in major stadium expansion fundraising and planning. These plans are in the University's long term plans and would raise the stadium's seating to over 65,000. As of December 2011, no major expansion plans have been announced.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or expansion:
“Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective positions of the beings which compose it, if moreover this intelligence were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in the same formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom; to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future as the past would be present to its eyes.”
—Pierre Simon De Laplace (1749–1827)
“Artistic genius is an expansion of monkey imitativeness.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
